Private jet charter in Liverpool

A charter from London to Liverpool takes well under an hour, and what decides the booking is which part of Merseyside you are really going to: the Grand National meeting at Aintree, a match at Anfield, a round on the links at Hoylake or Birkdale, a ship at the cruise terminal, or the road south into Cheshire. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whichever it is. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. Liverpool has one airport, John Lennon, with a 2,286 m runway, two private handlers on the field and a line from a John Lennon song on its roof, and Manchester, Hawarden and Blackpool are the alternatives when the programme sits elsewhere in the north-west. From anywhere else in Britain the flight is domestic from start to finish, with no border to cross.

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Liverpool depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

How long does it take to fly to Liverpool?

About 40 minutes from Luton in a light jet, 45 minutes from Farnborough or London City, 45 minutes from Biggin Hill, and no change of clock from anywhere in Britain. At 69 to 169 nautical miles these are short sectors, the kind where the climb and the descent take a large share of the flight and where the price meets a minimum charge long before the distance counts. The table gives the sector from each British field into Liverpool John Lennon (LPL). Manchester is left out on purpose: it lies 21 nautical miles away, a short drive, and no charter makes sense over that distance.

Prices for the private jet flights to Liverpool

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Liverpool John Lennon. The Grand National meeting in April, the Open weeks in July and the big stadium nights can price above these figures, and the calendar block further down says when.

Every figure in the table is one of two numbers: £3,100 for the turboprop and £5,300 for the light jet. That is not rounding. A one-way charter is billed with the aircraft's return positioning, and on a sector as short as these a minimum charge replaces the distance calculation, so Birmingham at 69 nautical miles and Newcastle at 114 cost the same. The practical rule is simple: choose the departure field by the drive to the aircraft and not by the price, because the nearest one is the cheapest in effect.

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

Private jet flights from Liverpool

Liverpool sends a lighter mix than Manchester and a more leisurely one. Dublin and the Isle of Man are turboprop hops, Amsterdam and Paris are light-jet sectors of about an hour, the Alps sit at an hour and forty minutes, and the Mediterranean and the Algarve are a morning for a midsize cabin. Typical one-way prices:

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Online Calculator

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Liverpool:

This is a small part of what is available. Liverpool is a short sector from Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds, and outside race week and a home fixture at Anfield there is usually an aircraft already within reach, so a quote may name one of those cities as the positioning point. That is normal and often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports around Liverpool

One airport does most of the work, and three others matter when the programme lies outside Merseyside. Each is described below with the handler, the hours and the kind of trip it suits.

Four points settle most Liverpool arrivals:

Border, passport and the Common Travel Area

A flight that starts and ends in Britain needs no border formalities, which is half the appeal of Liverpool for a client coming up from London or down from Edinburgh. The paperwork begins with anything that touches another country, and that includes Ireland, Jersey and the Isle of Man: the government's online service for General Aviation Reports covers international flights to and from the United Kingdom, the Common Travel Area included, and domestic flights are excluded. The report is filed between 48 and 2 hours before departure, and the penalty is £2,500 for a first landing at a non-regulated aerodrome and £2,000 for each passenger carried without permission.

For passengers it is simple. British and Irish passport holders need nothing further, and most other visitors who do not need a visa must hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation before they board. Leaving Liverpool for the Schengen area is a different matter, because a British passport holder meets EU border checks on arrival. We pass the passenger list and passport details to the handler in good time, so that Border Force is waiting on the ground and nobody stands at the aircraft door. Give us the nationalities in the party when you ask for a quote.

From the apron to Anfield, the Wirral and the counties around

Liverpool keeps a compact centre: the Pier Head and the Royal Albert Dock on the waterfront, Lime Street station behind them, and the football grounds to the north, Anfield beyond Stanley Park and Everton on the dockside. A private party rarely needs more than one base. The distances that matter run outward, to the racecourse, the links courses, the walled city of Chester and the hills of Wales.

Cheshire lies south of the Mersey. Chester, the walled city with the oldest racecourse still in use, is 24 miles from Liverpool John Lennon and 3.5 nautical miles from Hawarden, which is why a Chester party that has no business in Liverpool lands at Hawarden. Beyond Chester the road runs into North Wales: Llandudno, a Victorian resort built on the Creuddyn peninsula below the Great Orme, is a Welsh seaside day out for a family. For a programme that stays in Wales, Hawarden is a better door than Liverpool.

North of the city the coast belongs to golf. Royal Liverpool at Hoylake, in the north-west corner of the Wirral, has hosted the Open Championship thirteen times, Royal Birkdale at Southport has hosted it eleven times, and Royal Lytham & St Annes, on the Fylde coast south of Blackpool, is the third Open venue on this coast. All three lie within about 30 nautical miles of Liverpool John Lennon, and a hospitality party in Open week will want the car or the helicopter waiting at the ramp.

The Lake District is the longest transfer. Windermere, the largest lake in England at 11 miles from end to end, is 64 nautical miles from Liverpool John Lennon in a straight line, which is 40 minutes by helicopter and a good deal longer by road. A party bound for the lakes can land at Liverpool, at Blackpool or at Manchester, and the sensible choice is the one with the shortest transfer on the day.

Flying to Liverpool with a dog or a cat

A pet on a flight from an English, Welsh or Scottish airfield to Liverpool sits in the cabin beside the owner, and nothing has to be declared, because the flight never leaves Great Britain. The one requirement is the microchip that British law already demands for a dog. Paperwork begins only when the flight starts or finishes abroad.

What each type of Liverpool flight asks of the animal:

• From England, Wales or Scotland: nothing beyond the microchip and the usual documents for the operator;
• From Northern Ireland: a dog or cat coming back to Great Britain is not checked on the way, and a dog needs no tapeworm treatment on the return from Northern Ireland. In the other direction, an animal going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland needs a separate document and notification;
• From abroad into Liverpool: a dog needs a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival, a pet travel document and a declaration are required, and no more than five animals may travel with one person. Cats do not need the tapeworm treatment;
• From Liverpool to the EU: a microchip fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination, a rabies vaccination from 12 weeks of age followed by a 21-day wait, and an Animal Health Certificate for each trip, valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A Great Britain pet passport is not valid for entry to the EU.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. We confirm the entry point and the paperwork for the animal in writing before the flight.

The Liverpool calendar: racing, football, the Open and a week for the Beatles

Liverpool has a calendar with sharp peaks and flat valleys. April belongs to Aintree, the winter to football, July to golf on the coast, and one week in late August to the Beatles. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Liverpool price down

• Use the turboprop from the Midlands, the north, Wales and Belfast. Up to about 200 nautical miles the PC-12 is £3,100 and a light jet £5,300, and eight people do not need a bigger cabin;
• Pick the departure field by the drive. Birmingham, Newcastle and Bristol cost the same to Liverpool, so the nearest one is the cheapest in effect;
• Ask where the aircraft sleeps. One already based in Liverpool, Manchester or Birmingham needs less positioning than one coming up from the south coast, and positioning is a big share of a short sector;
• Move the date if it can move. A midweek day in March costs less than the Friday of the Grand National, and a flight in mid-September costs less than one in Beatleweek.

Types of flights

Liverpool mixes things that other British cities keep apart: a port, a football city, a racecourse, a cruise terminal and the gateway to Cheshire and North Wales.

• Business and professional travel from London and the south, with a same-day return as the usual shape;
• Racing parties for the Grand National at Aintree and the May meeting at Chester, flown into Liverpool or Hawarden and finished by car or helicopter;
• Football and arena nights, with parties flown in for a match at Anfield or the Everton ground and out again after, and for stadium concerts in summer;
• Golf parties for Hoylake, Birkdale and Lytham, especially in Open week, often with a helicopter booked for the last stretch;
• Cruise passengers joining a ship at Prince's Dock, and owners and crews changing over;
• Clients bound for Cheshire, North Wales and the Lake District, who want the shortest road at the end of the flight.

The London day return is the one to look at closely. Leave Biggin Hill at seven, land at Liverpool a little before eight and be in the meeting by nine. The aircraft and crew wait at the handler, which is a real line in the quote, though it usually still beats two separate one-way charters because the aircraft is not flown home empty and then fetched again. At about 45 minutes each way it also leaves most of the working day free.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Liverpool has several seasonal peaks that create them, and it helps to know what produces them.

Liverpool is a regional base and not a hub on the scale of London, so a client who offers a three-day window is far likelier to find a leg than one who needs a given Friday. The operator, not the passenger, fixes the hour, and a leg can disappear if the booking behind it changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Liverpool match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Liverpool a helicopter is a tool for the last stretch and not for the city. The airport is a short drive from the centre. The places where rotary flight changes the journey are the racecourse on a Saturday in April, the links courses of the Wirral and the Sefton coast, and the houses of Cheshire and the Lakes, where the road adds an hour to each end of the day.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for single-engine transfers, the H130 for scenic work, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable. Times above are straight-line figures at a typical cruise of about 130 knots, with a few minutes added for start-up and landing.
